Ingredients  

  • 3 whole eggs
  • 1 + 1/2 Cups milk
  • 1 Cup pre-cooked and prepared ingredients
  • 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper or to taste
  • Optional: spices of choice
  • Optional: top with cheese

Instructions 

Prepare the Pie Crust:

  1. Roll out your pie dough on a floured surface until it's large enough to fit your baking dish, but still thick enough to hold together.
  2. Gently place the rolled-out dough into a glass baking dish. Depending on the type of crust you're using, you may need to grease and flour the dish, but traditional pie crusts typically have enough fat to prevent sticking.
  3. Once the dough is molded to the dish, place it in the fridge to chill while you move on to the next steps.

Prepare Your Ingredients:

  1. Cook or prepare your additional ingredients. This might include sautéing vegetables, roasting meats, or shredding cheese. Ensure these ingredients are ready to go when it's time to assemble.

Blind Bake the Crust:

  1. Once your additional ingredients are ready, let them cool down while you blind bake your crust. Follow the instructions provided for a traditional crust if you don't know how to blind bake or refer to specific guidelines for alternative crusts.

Prepare the Egg Mixture:

  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. Set this mixture aside.

Assemble the Quiche:

  1. When the crust is finished blind baking, remove it from the oven. Remove the pie weights and parchment paper.
  2. Evenly spread your cooked ingredients inside the crust.
  3. Pour the egg mixture over the ingredients, and if desired, sprinkle cheese on top.

Bake the Quiche:

  1. Place the assembled quiche in an oven preheated to 350°F (175°C) and bake for 55-60 minutes, until the egg mixture is puffed and golden.

Cool and Serve:

  1. Remove the quiche from the oven and allow it to cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing. Cooling helps the quiche set, making it easier to slice and serve.
  2. Enjoy!
